Washington Street in the West 5 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. Tax Abatements (1) continued… Washington-Chapin Development Area. (Royal Holdings, dba Royal Adhesives) Mr. Mathia gave a combined staff report on the project. Royal Adhesives is a maker of specialty adhesives for use in industrial and commercial settings. Royal Adhesives proposes to (1) demolish the old O’Brien Paint building and replace it with an 8,294 sft factory; (2) equip that building with state of the art specialty adhesive mixing operation and (3) add a 22,125 warehouse to support the operation. Total cost of construction is expected to be $1,127,543. The equipment to be purchased includes mixers, raw materials storage tanks, and various pilot mixers. Some of the equipment may be purchased used, but will come from outside the State of Indiana. The equipment has a total estimated cost of $3,168,075. Royal Holdings is in the early stages of the construction contracting process. Therefore, it does not have a firm list of contractors. Based on current information it is estimated that the applicant will qualify for a three-year abatement. The length of this period could increase depending on the final selection of the contractors. However, it is not expected to exceed five years. In the case of real property, total taxes to be abated during a three-year abatement period are estimated at $28,556. Total additional taxes to be paid as a result of the project during the three-year abatement period are 6 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. Tax Abatements (1) continued… estimated at $73,449. If the project should qualify for a five year abatement, total taxes to be abated during a five-year abatement period are estimated at $39,675. Total additional taxes to be paid as a result of the project during the five-year abatement period are estimated at $130,333. For the personal property abatement, total taxes to be abated during the (5) five-year abatement period are estimated at $53,424. Total additional taxes to be paid as a result of the project during the five-year abatement period are estimated at $177,784. It is estimated that the project will create twenty-eight (28) new, permanent full-time positions with an annual payroll of $1,390,806. The project will also maintain one hundred sixteen existing permanent full- time positions, including twenty-five existing permanent full-time minority employees, with a total annual payroll of $6,137,614. Royal Holdings, Incorporated, has not been granted or associated with any previous tax abatements. However, a previous owner of the company, Uniroyal Technology Corporation, submitted a petition for a real property tax abatement on November 12, 1999. That petition was turned down by the Common Council at the Confirming Resolution stage due to a remonstrance by members of the public who were mostly former employees and retirees of the old 7 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) B. Tax Abatements (1) continued… Uniroyal Corporation. Subsequent to that abatement petition, Uniroyal Technology Corporation sold the company and no longer has any ownership interest in it. The property is properly zoned for the proposed project. The property is located in the West Washington – Chapin Development Area, which is a Tax Incremental Allocation Area; therefore, the petition for real property tax deduction must first be approved by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. The project qualifies for up to a five-year real property tax abatement and for a (5) five-year personal property tax abatement under the tax abatement ordinance. Mr. Varner noted that he is a proponent of helping existing businesses. He was a member of the Council ten years ago when the previous owner wanted tax abatement. He voted in the minority, in favor of the tax abatement then and supports this request. He hopes the company can continue to grow in South Bend.

Staff is now requesting approval of the Parking Garage Management Agreement between the Redevelopment Commission and AMPCO System Parking. The term of the agreement is three years beginning February 1, 2009 and ending January 31, 2012. Ampco System Parking will manage and operate the parking services, collect receipts and make deposits for Leighton, Main and Wayne Street garages.

They had not yet begun the work when staff asked Wightman Petrie for proposals for additional Phase II site assessments. Wightman Petrie was kind enough to tell us that it would be less expensive if we went with a bigger contract that would include the previously approved 11 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6.

Ms. Kolata noted that Phase II assessment is part of the Commission’s due diligence when acquiring property. Mr. Varner asked if there is a requirement for a certain number of borings per square foot? Ms. Kolata responded that she is not aware of such, if there is one. There are rules of “thumb,” based on what they see during a Phase I assessment. 12 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) E.

Douglas Road Economic Development Area (1) Reimbursement Agreement with Holladay Corporation Mr. Meteiver noted that in the fall of 2005 city officials met with representatives from Holladay Properties to discuss development opportunities along Douglas Road between State Road 23 and the Mishawaka city limits. Although it is at the outer edges of the city, the development proposed for this small corridor has good potential for growth and increased revenue for the City of South Bend. As part of the conversation with Holladay Properties, a decision was made by city officials to participate in a reimbursement agreement to cover upfront costs that would be temporarily absorbed by Holladay for road design and right-of-way acquisition. The purpose was to expedite the road reconstruction project. On February 17, 2006, the Redevelopment Commission established the Douglas Road Economic Development Area to aid in the development of this area and to generate funds to be used to reconstruct and widen Douglas Road to a commercial roadway standard. After two years of work, the funding for the road project is in place, the road construction project has been awarded, Memorial Home Care has been built and Brown Mackie College will be ready for students this fall. One of the final pieces of the project is to execute the attached reimbursement agreement. 16 South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting –February 6, 2009 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) I. Douglas Road Economic Development Area (1) continued… The agreement covers two items: right of way acquisition and road design. The agreement stipulates the payment of Two Hundred Forty-four Thousand One Hundred Sixty-six Dollars ($244,166.00) to acquire necessary right-of-way from four property owners and One Hundred Eighty Thousand ($180,000.00) to acquire plans for the roadway and pay related expenses paid to Abonmarche Consultants of Indiana. The total reimbursement agreement amount is Four Hundred Twenty-four Thousand One Hundred Sixty-six Dollars ($424,166.00). Funding for this reimbursement agreement is included in the funding plan that was developed for this project. Staff requests favorable approval of this reimbursement agreement. Mr. Perri noted that the city has made a good deal on this. Holladay Properties spent in excess of $500,000 on the city’s behalf in 2005 and will get reimbursed for $425,000. But Holladay is very happy to finally have this agreement. Bill Schalliol has worked very hard to move this forward. Mr. Perri said he hopes development in that area increases because of the road improvements. Holladay owns other properties out there.
